A while ago (r4453, early May), Vikram Garg and I added the
patch_reuse option to PatchRecoveryErrorEstimator, which tells the
estimator to use the same patch to generate error estimates for every
element within it, rather than generating a new patch and new
postprocessed patch solution for each element.

We made this option default to true and didn't bother advertising the
change because it runs an order of magnitude faster, it is supposed to
have the same asymptotic effectivity behavior (up to a constant), and
it gave nearly identical adaptivity performance in our tests.

However, it turns out that that constant matters, and the new default
PREE gives visibly inferior adaptivity performance in my tests
using a different application with a more complex and fragile
formulation.  So a very belated heads-up: anyone using patch recovery
(or adjoint residual, which by default depends on patch recovery)
error estimates might want to explore both sides of the reuse option.
